Obama Approval Hits New Low

Not just nationally, but in Kentucky:

Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as President?

36% Approve
61% Disapprove
3% Not Sure

To put that in perspective, this poll indicates that Obama is probably losing support from people that voted for him in Kentucky last November (he got 41% of the vote in Kentucky). He's doing even worse than John Kerry did in 2004 (Kerry got 39% of the vote in the Bluegrass State).

And it's not everyone. It's him.

Kentucky's top Senator Mitch McConnell and its Democratic Governor Steve Beshear (whose Republican opponent did only marginally better than Obama did in the last election) both poll around 47 or 48% approval and similar disapproval.

There hasn't been a poll out lately in Indiana showing Obama's approval rating.

Anyone care to guess whether it's better or worse than Obama's vote percentage last November?
